妙法蓮華經玄贊 4.285

4.285

贊曰：頌釋云何堪說，有具四德：一慚，崇重賢善，復顧自身羞恥過罪；二愧，輕拒暴惡，復顧世間羞恥過罪；三清淨，內外無瑕，棄世名利；四志求佛道不顧二乘，能信此經不愚法類乃可為說。設愚法者，若遇餘佛便得決了一乘道也。

The Commentary says: This verse explains who is competent to be told it; they possess four virtues: First, shame (hrī), respecting and revering the worthy and good, and also looking back upon oneself with feeling ashamed of faults and transgressions; second, remorse (apatrāpya), keeping distance from and resisting violence and evil, and also taking note of the world with feeling ashamed of faults and transgressions; third, purity, being unblemished within and without and casting aside worldly fame and gain; fourth, aspiring to seek the Buddha path without looking back upon the two vehicles. Only those who can believe this sūtra and are not of the class deluded about phenomena may be told it. Even if they are deluded about phenomena, if they meet another buddha, they will then be able to achieve definitive understanding of the path of the Single Vehicle.
